Vincenzo Giustiniani

Claude Mellan

National Gallery of Art

The image is a depiction of a man with distinct facial features, wearing a garment with a frilled collar. In the background, there are finely etched lines creating an oval frame around the figure, within a plain rectangular border. An inscription below the portrait reads "VINCENTIVS IVSTINIANVS IOSEPHI F," accompanied by additional text indicating the name of the artist and the date, "Claude Mellan Gall' del. et Sculp. Roma 1631." The overall style suggests a classical engraving.
